Gas will only ever play a supporting role in Australia’s transitioning electricity system, and Scott Morrison’s threat to build a new gas generator in New South Wales is an unnecessary and ‘heavy-handed’ intervention, according to new research from the Grattan Institute.
Over the year to the end of September, gas generation fell by 16.7 per cent, compared to the year prior. Generation from black coal also fell by 6.8 per cent over the same period. Meanwhile, solar increased a massive 27.0 per cent, and wind generation grew 14.8 per cent.
